“Bills” Red Fringe Skirt

• Girth - Girth is the most important measurement when determining size! Place the measuring tape at the top of one shoulder, measuring over the fullest part of the chest, down the torso, through the legs and back up to the same shoulder–ensuring the tape follows close to the body shape.
• Bust - Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape horizontal, and have dancers stand with arms down at their sides.
• Waist - To identify the natural waistline, instruct dancers to bend over to one side and have the measurer place a finger at the indentation. As the dancers stand up, use this point as the indicator for where to measure around the waist.
• Hips - Have dancers stand with their feet together and measure around the fullest part of the buttocks.
• Inseam - Place the measuring tape at the inner leg, measuring from the crotch all the way to the floor.

Sizing Tips For Success

• Watch our handy "How to Measure" video
• For consistency, select one person to take all measurements using the same measuring tape each time.
• When ordering a few months in advance, it’s recommended to add 1.5” to 2” to the girth measurement to account for growth (especially for little ones’ growth spurts). If dancers are between sizes, select the size that most closely corresponds to the girth measurement. And when in doubt, size up!
• Keep the type of fabric and silhouette in mind when ordering as dancers’ natural body variations can impact the overall fit.
• Take a photo of the entire group of dancers to use for size comparison and later reference.
